Adrian Coome

Adrian was born in Rockhampton where as a young lad he would regularly attend the local races with his parents.

At the age of 14 Adrian would juggle his schooling at Rockhampton with part time work around the stables. Upon completion of year 10 Adrian started his apprenticeship with Daryl Hansen, a position that would last 6 months. He was then indentured to David Vale for the same amount of time before finding his current master Don Critch. The pair formed a great partnership whilst also becoming great mates.

From this time on Adrian's career certainly went ahead in leaps and bounds outriding his provincial claim in just 12 months, winning both the Rockhampton and Mackay Seniors and Apprentices Premierships, a feat unsurpassed by any other apprentice in Australia!

Adrian's skills have been in great demand in Brisbane by all the leading trainers which has recently seen him ride his 20th metropolitan winner. Adrian's natural talent and determination to improve coupled with his affinity with the thoroughbred should see him destined for much greater heights.
